Hi Michael,

Not what you asked, BUT WHEN DOES THAT STOP ME !!!!
<Maniacal Laughter>

I use Wine a lot.  It is terrible code.  Alpha
stage at best.  Wine is really only usable with
video games, where it excels.

Thirty one year ago when I started my business, I
wrote my account code in Lotus Approach (part
of Smart Suite).  It has been modified every
year since.  (OS/2 at the time.)

Without Approach, I would have to close my business
and hope the government did not want any end
of business spreadsheets from me.

Wine 9.x onward introduced bug after bug after bug
after bug in Approach and Word Pro.  Approach
became unusable.  I must now have 15 critical
bugs reported to Wine's bugzilla on Wine 10.x
and Lotus, with two more to go.

What I finally did out of desperation was to create
a qemu-kvm virtual machine (VM) of Fedora 33 (yes thirty
three), Xfce 4.14 (from the live ISO), and Wine
6.13.   There are a few minor Wine bugs that are
easily worked around.  And the VM is totally stripped.
Does not even have a browser (it does file share
with the host).

Every new revision of Wine adds more and more bugs.
I feel you pain.  Did I mention that Wine is buggy?
